The heat resistant resin used to construct the housing, base and actuator on all these SMT switches allows vapor phase and infrared convection reflow soldering.

Miniature size and light weight make NKK Switches' devices ideal for handheld equipment

NKK Switches (Scottsdale, AZ) has announced the availability of the G3T Series and G3B Series of ultra-miniature, process sealed, surface mount toggle and pushbutton switches. The devices feature:

• A small size and light weight that make them ideal for handheld equipment as well as high-density mounting.
  STC (Sliding Twin Crossbar) contact mechanisms — guarantees unparalleled logic level switching reliability.
• Gold-plated contacts that are wiped clean with every actuation, providing a smoother, positive detent actuation and increased contact stability.
• Process sealing for automated processing techniques, including flux-cleaning procedures. Bushings and housings that are constructed of 1 molded piece — a rubber o-ring surrounds the actuator.
• A rubber seal that surrounds the base where it fits into the actuator.
• Epoxy-sealed terminals molded in to lock out flux, solvents and other contaminants.
• Availability in single- or double-pole.
• Configuration in five different circuits including momentary and maintained action (G3T).
• The ability to specify upright, upright with support bracket or right angle mounts.
• A heat resistant resin that allows vapor phase and infrared convection reflow soldering. Gull-wing terminals that provide mechanical stability during soldering and simplify solder joint inspection.
• An electrical rating for all circuit options of 0.4 VA (max) @ 28 VAC/DV (max).

Why Would I Specify?

• Both the G3T and G3B series feature the STC (Sliding Twin Crossbar) contact mechanism.
• Both series are completely process-sealed for automated processing techniques, including flux-cleaning procedures.
• The heat-resistant resin used to construct the housing, base and actuator on all these SMT switches allows vapor phase and infrared convection reflow soldering.
